Over Half Of U.S. Households Have A Modern Console
According to data-tracking giant Nielsen, gaming is on the rise. The numbers show that gamers in the U.S. are spending more time and money on video games.
One of the most interesting figures is the fact that over half of U.S. households – 56 percent – own at least one current-generation gaming console. Nielsen points out that this is a 50 percent increase over last year's numbers.
The survey also points to the importance of the Internet for generating awareness and hype for an upcoming game release, and still-rising prominence of mobile devices in the gaming space.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
